As the Eugene 4J school district prepares for hybrid learning, the district is taking stock of their personal protective equipment. 4J plans to have different types of PPE in schools.

The district has been purchasing personal protective equipment such as adult and child face coverings, Plexiglas barriers, and backpack sprayers for custodians. 4J Chief Operations Officer Kyle Tucker said they’re also providing signs to help with directing students when walking inside school buildings.

“The other things that we’ve done is that we’ve worked with buildings in ordering signs—everything from handwashing signs to social distancing to ‘face coverings required.’ And then we’ve also provided buildings with tape to allow them to help with markings, whether that be on the floor or the wall,” said Tucker.

The 4J district plans to have kindergarten and first graders start hybrid learning the week of Mar. 15.
